Mission
SEEM's efforts are focused on supporting the ministry of Rev. Louis Julian. A native of Vietnam, Rev. Julian has worked in Christian evangelism for minority groups in Vietnam since the early 1970s. The mission work has not been easy, because there has historically been serious persecution of minority tribespeople who are Christian. The hill tribespeople (often called "Montagnards") are actually composed of several dozen distinct tribes such as the Jeh, Jarai, Bahnar, Bru, and Rhade. The tribes are often of very different ethnical backgrounds. For example, the Jarai are of Malayan-Polynesian heritage. Other tribes are more closely related to groups from India, or from China. But they are quite different from ethnic Vietnamese, Laotians, or Cambodians - culturally, ethnically, and with language.
Program accomplishments
- Because there has been a strong history of large-scale persecution of Christian hill tribespeople (jailing, not allowing them to own businesses, beatings, ineligibility of children for jobs), many of the hill tribespeople are not willing to sign up with the government as a condition of worshiping. Instead, they strongly believe in the concept of freedom of religion. As a result, in some areas of the countries, evangelism work must still be carried out secretly. Lay pastors will be arrested and jailed. In other areas, things are opening up and churches can now be built -- although fear still persists.Rev. Julian has an amazing ministry that has been operating for decades on a shoestring budget. There is no shortage of lay persons among the hill tribespeople who would like to be lay pastors. Training these future pastors is a major focus of SEEM.Expenses $107,043
